I bought these Carbon Fiber Silicone Wiper Blades for my 1991 Toyota Pickup awhile ago. However, we have had a record breaking streak of days without rain here in the Seattle area. So, it wasn't until last night I was able experience the wipers in action. I drove home from Seattle to Everett and encountered some light rain. Having run the wipers after installation to coat the windshield glass per instructions, the water beaded up as expected. The wipers are the quietest ones I have ever experienced on this vehicle. Since it has no intermittent setting I would have to turn them on and off with the old blades because they made annoying noise. These are a real improvement.
